Recorded this week at Groovement Towers, the architect of one of Groovement’s albums of the year lays down a sublime selection of tracks for the podcast. Mecca:83‘s been skulking in the shadows a good few years now, particularly around the Manchester hip hop scene. The jazzy Rise album snapped our attention away from lesser musics earlier this year with its release on Simon S’ Futuristica record label, and the following Mecca:83 EP cemented what we had already guessed: Evan Jones is a badman.
